So I bought an 02 s2k that was totaled because of hail damage. When I purchased the car about a month ago it came with a megan header, buddy club coils, sri, no cat, no exhaust, wheels from a mid 90s base model mustang, soft top was ripped, back window was broken, smashed windshield and 100s of hail dents all over. So I've been working on it here and there when I have time. Here are some pics of the process so far.

At the guys house when I went to check it out.




First day at my house

AyoMo

Took the soft top off completely out, motor and all.






Purchased a Greddy single exhaust and Berk HFC from THMotorsports here on the boards, he gave me the best price I could find.





Installed it the same day I got it

I took the front fenders off completely since I knew I would order a set of wider fenders, I wanted to run a pretty aggressive wheel setup.

AyoMo

I didn't want to spend too much on wheels for the street but I wanted something that would look good, I decided on Varrstoen 2.2.1 wheels 18x10.5 rear with +30 offset and 18x9.5 front +30 offset.




These things are super aggressive stance lol, I went this wide because I planned on getting over fenders for the rear.




They stick out pretty far in the rears

Here are the fronts, they fit perfectly with my asm front fenders.

My body parts came in, check out the ron paul mobile in action lol




Mugen hard top, oem cf hood, and the front fenders

I ordered some sumitomo hrtz 3 tires in 275/35/18 rear and 255/35/18 front got them from tire rack, best price I could find.




got the tires mounted the next day

AyoMo

Had to cut my rear fenders to make them fit, I bought some shine rear over fenders they might do the job it'll be close if not I'm going to have the body shop make me some custom molded fenders.




I didn't weld the two pieces together and grind them smooth yet because I need to take some more out, the coils are raised almost all the way up they need to come down some.

AyoMo

Pulled it out of the garage a little over a month on jack stands waiting for all my parts to come in.




Drove it down the street to the store and snapped a quick photo. I uninstalled the trunk because I got one on ebay real cheap that was in great condition, it was the better option than going carbon fiber. No one makes a frp oem style trunk, the frp ones have a built in lip that wouldn't work with the duckbill spoiler I ordered.

Last week I stripped the interior, it was worn and ugly blue. I'm ditching the seats soon as well for black oem seats, just gotta find a good deal on a set in good condition. I'm probably going to get the dash wrapped by my friend who owns a Sign a Rama in black vinyl instead of swapping it out. How hard is it to swap the entire dash board out?





This week I finally installed the hard top, I still need to put the back plexi glass in, I don't have any of that 3m glue for the molding.
